Confident White Man on a Beach in Watercolor

An upright, confident White man stands barefoot on a windswept beach at golden hour. Watercolor painting with soft, translucent washes and textured paper. He wears a light linen shirt with sleeves rolled, airy shorts; chest lifted, chin slightly raised, hands resting casually on his hips. The sun low on the horizon casts warm amber and pink light, illuminating his face with a gentle glow while blue-gray ocean swells roll in. Loose, flowing brushstrokes capture the breeze in his hair and the shore's edge. Subtle seagulls in the distance, dunes or cliffs in the far background. Wet sand reflects the sky. Overall mood is calm, self-assured, and aspirational; include watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet, soft edges, and pigment granulation.
